[Xerte] Re: broken link to xerte demo

[Fay Cross]

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560 now goes directly to the html version.  I'm not sure there's a way to view the Flash version of this if that's what you're after.

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_html5.php?template_id=560

is the html5 version of

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560

The great thing is you don't need to do anything to your projects to transform them.

we have a new template that creates responsive pieces a bit like this:

We've found you can do pretty much everything in html5 one way or another that you could do in flash: we've converted all 75 templates without any real issues.

Subject: Converting Flash to HTML5

Hi all

Thanks to Dave K for pointing me at https://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/swiffy/ to convert a swf to HTML5. Dead quick and easy and output works OK on a nexus 7, iPad and Galaxy S2 (though animation is less smooth).

Original swf: http://repository.leedsmet.ac.uk/main/view_record.php?identifier=3839&SearchGroup=ANY
HTML5: http://repository.leedsmet.ac.uk/main/view_record.php?identifier=8070&SearchGroup=ANY

Doesn't work in IE8 due to lack of HTML5 support...fine in Chrome and FireFox though much smaller than the original swf on a desktop browser (due, I'm told, to the fact that Flash files will be scaled to fit your browser window, whereas the converted HTML5 version is fixed to the dimensions of the Flash version as it was when it was created.)

I understand that soon-to-be-released upgraded xerte will output as HTML5 but am I right in thinking that the standard still won't replace all the functionality of Flash?

Nick
